The preparations for our TEDXRTW talks continue this term, leading up to the moment our Year 8 speakers step onto the stage at the Trinity Theatre, Tunbridge Wells on 15th May.
On Thursday, training with TEDX continued with a dynamic workshop entitled `Body, Voice and Presence`, exploring how to manage on-stage nerves, command the stage, and master the art of speaking clearly and enunciating effectively when using a microphone to address a large crowd.
Holmewood House are proud to lead this initiative and yesterday welcomed partnering schools - The Skinners` School, St Gregory`s Catholic School, Heathfield and Skinners` Kent Academy - to join us for this training.
All pupils gained valuable insight on the skill of presenting a speech. We look forward to seeing everyone`s final projects and speeches mid-May.

What magic would your pebble have?
Year 2 have been exploring what makes poetry - its rhythm, structure, imagery, and sound. They have enjoyed listening to a range of poems, including the Magic Pebble by Roger McGough, and discussing how poets use language to get across meaning.
The children have been using their imaginations to think about what magic their own pebble could have and the ‘consequence’ of that magic. Working in pairs, they wrote down their ideas, which will then be used to compose their own poems using rhyme and sound patterns they have been studying.
We look forward to reading their finished poems!
